The benefits of analytics are fairly straight-forward. According to a recent KPMG survey of C-level employees, nearly all (97%) are already using data and analytics in some area of their business. Almost as many – 81 percent – are using analytics to better understand customers, according to the survey, Going Beyond The Data, Turning Data From Insights To Value. Just as important: Analytics are helping them make faster decisions, according to 86 percent of C-level employees. And four out of five say analytics help them make more accurate decisions.
